Two milestones were recently recognized at BCM – the department of
molecular and human genetics celebrated its quarter-century mark and Dr. Bert O'Malley was
honored for his 50 years working in science.

Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, the 2011 Border Texan of the Year, showed his continued commitment
to the region by donating a portion of his proceeds from the award to the Vannie E. Cook Jr.
Cancer Foundation.

Health Hints

Going to the rodeo? Don't give yourself carte blanche to indulge on anything you want. Try eating a healthy meal ahead of time or looking for a grilled meat sandwich at the rodeo since fruits and vegetables are not easy to find.
